This approach to the need for a third-person singular pronoun has largely been discarded as sexist language (and in many cases just flat-out wrong): “Each patient needs to get regular checkups, including visits to his primary care physician and gynecologist.” Sometimes it’s simple enough to reword a sentence by using the plural without affecting the meaning: “A researcher should cite her sources” could become “Researchers should cite their sources.” However, rewriting is not always possible or desirable, and performing linguistic acrobatics just to avoid violating a grammar rule can be time-consuming and lead to unclear or awkward prose. Enter “they.” Because the English language does not have a gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun readily available, speakers and writers have often turned to the handy “they” to fill this need. “They” is a good solution because it’s […]" @default.
